Can I write about my hobby in my ECs essay

URGENT!!!
I have a really unique hobby(which i am sure nor many high-schoolers do), but, its not something that I do everyday, nor is it something i get paid for, nor is it something that has had a huge impact me , nor is it something that has taught me a life lesson, nor is it something that has helped others.
My hobby is just something that I love to do and that i do sometimes.(bcoz it can be done only sometimes.)

So, should I write about this in my common app short answer???

And btw, my hobby is no way related to my major.

Help plz!!!

URGENT!!!!!!!!!

What is the activity? It depends on what it is.

I think you could use it (depending on what it is) becuase it sounds like it makes you unique, just make sure you show how your hobby reflects who you are.

Tie it in to how great you are, just like everthing else on the app, and it'll be good no matter what it is.
